Res·cue: the act of saving [someone] from a dangerous or distressing situation.
Have you ever been frustrated because you didn’t get out the door when you were supposed to? I have. And then the thought comes into my head, “I wonder what disaster the Lord saved me from because I was running behind.”
He does that. He saves us from ourselves. And it may look today like your loved one is in an incredibly hopeless situation. But He may just be in the middle of doing the saving.
"By your mighty power you rescue."
Today I am going to choose to believe that He is at work and in the process of rescuing my loved one.
Today I am going to choose to believe that He will protect and cover my loved one in the shadow of His wings.
Today I will walk in hope.
April 3, 2019 Our prayer for our loved one today:
Psalm 17:6-8 NLT [6] I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray[7] Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways. By your mighty power you rescue those who seek refuge from their enemies[8] Guard me... Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
Lord, we come before You today confident, because we know that you are a God that answers prayers. We pray that today You will bend down and listen as we pray. And I thank you that when [our loved one] cries out to you, you will bend down and listen to [him/her]. Lord, hear [our loved one's] whispers and groans. Show [our loved one] your unfailing love, Lord however that looks. Use the people and events around [him/her] to reveal yourself to [our loved one]. I pray that when [our loved one] does cry out to you that you will swoop in to rescue [him/her] with your mighty hand. Protect [our loved one] from the enemies that are trying to destroy [him/her]. Enemies like confusion, pride, anger, addiction, self-loathing. Lord, whatever [he/she] is facing today, we know that you are greater. Guard [our loved one]. Draw [him/her] near to You and protect [him/her] under the shadow of Your wings. Lord, we pray with confidence that these things will happen as you will them to and ask all of these things in your Son's precious name. Amen.
